I can tell you right now that the attitude of the Europeans toward US financial instituitions borders on disgust. Because of the involvement of US-based banks (such as GS, Citi) in Greece and other small towns across the continent, somehow the image of the US has been transformed from a leader in technology into a country that produces only Madoff-like ponzi scheme creators. This is a sad stuation.
